Lt. Gen. Russel Honoré gets credit for restoring order in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. And from that, he emerged as a national hero.

Since then, he’s retired and launched headlong into the fight against pollution, gathering the troops in a Green Army.

Lt. Gen. Russel Honoré will be speaking about keeping our water clean on the Earth Arts Stage at the Louisiana Earth Day celebration in downtown Baton Rouge Sunday, April 27, at 4 p.m.
